The clock is ticking and Halloween is right around the corner. If you still haven't decorated for the big night, it's not too late to add a little whimsy to your front door just in time for trick-or treaters. Best of all, there are plenty of great ideas you can create all by yourself without breaking the bank.
A great front door can be as easy as a roll of colorful butcher paper. White for a ghost, green for Frankenstein, orange for a jack-o-lantern, simply cover your door with your color of choice, add some large construction paper eyes, mouth/teeth and other details to finish the effect.
It's quick, easy, and the results are adorable. No paper rolls on hand? Wrap the door in toilet paper with some yellow eyes peeking through for an instant mummy. This creation might not stand the test of time, but it will get you through Halloween night.
Fake spider webs are a great way to quickly and easily add spookiness to your door. A bag of faux webbing is super cheap at the nearest party store, or try your hand at constructing your own with yarn, cotton balls or pillow batting. Drape your "webs" across the corner of your door, dangle it across the top and add plastic spiders for a fun creepy effect.
Stop by your local craft store and pick up some plain wooden or thick carboard letters. They are inexpensive and can be decorated in endless ways. Spell out an elaborate "Happy Halloween" or stick with a simple "Boo." Then paint your letters to suit your style, whether it's eerie glow in the dark yellow or cheerful orange and purple glitter. Affix your letters straight to your door or lace them together with ribbon and hang them vertically from a wreath hanger or doorknob.
As a nod to everyone's favorite witch, stuff a pair of striped tights with cotton or fabric scraps, tuck the ends into red sparkly shoes and position them so they stick out from under your door. An old broom or witches hat tossed nearby can add to the laughs.
If you are really pressed for time, a little imagination can make a big impact. Pick up some bright yellow caution tape from a home improvement store and hang it in a crisscross pattern across your door. Find an old plank of wood and carve or paint "Keep Out" for a creepy door sign. Handprints made with washable red paint streaked across the glass window panes will make everyone's hair stand on end.
It doesn't take much to have the cutest or creepiest house on the block. We hope you enjoy your Halloween night!

Their right back, Daniel Carvajal, is also a doubt after he trained on his own on Monday. "He has been training just 20 minutes because he has problems with his shoulder, but we had a good feeling beforehand". Robert Lewandowski has scored in each of his last three Champions League games - he's never done four in a row in the competition. Zidane and Real also have their sights set on creating history by becoming the first club to retain the trophy in the Champions League era, so with ...
A translated Tweet read: "Bomb explosion on the team bus at the team hotel". The letter found at the scene is being authenticated, and police say it claims responsibility - but have not yet released details about its contents. Police also said an officer who was accompanying the bus on a motorbike suffered blast trauma and shock. North Rhine-Westphalia police spokesman Gunnar Wortmann said there were "three explosions near the team bus as they left the hotel to go to the stadium ".
I've managed over 1,100 games for Arsenal Football Club, and we are not used to lose like that. On questions about his future: "I face it in every press conference at the moment but tonight I'm not in the mood to speak about it". Wenger expressed his disappointment after the defeat to Palace, saying they fell flat in what he deemed a "must-win" game. On that front that is the most hard for us.
Plus, the Cavaliers will be no worse than the No. 2 seed, meaning they'll still have home-court advantage for the first two rounds, and could have it in the Eastern Conference Finals if the Celtics fail to advance, which is a realistic possibility.
Spanish global Marc Bartra was injured after three blasts hit the Borussia Dortmund team bus as it headed to the Champions League game against AS Monaco. Police in Dortmund after the blasts near the BVB team bus. They said a fourth, undetonated device had also been found near the team hotel. Dortmund's press spokesman said the 26-year-old had broken the radius bone in his right wrist.
From what I understand, it's going to blow 25-30 miles per hour at times this week, with gusts perhaps up to 40, which I don't know will be enough to move balls on the greens or not. Johnson is joined by several other of the sport's top names, including Jordan Spieth and his third-best odds. If the storybook is ready, Spieth wins this weekend.
Brantley could only watch and cheer for his teammates last October during their postseason run after undergoing two surgeries on his right shoulder. He said the police have even welcomed him home after road trips and congratulated him on good games. "They have a good bullpen over there - [Andrew] Miller, [Bryan] Shaw, [Cody] Allen at the end - and I felt like we did a good job of hanging in there as long as we possibly could".
Ancelotti's approach is appreciated by Bayern bosses, happy to have a calming influence at a club previously known as FC Hollywood for the slew of tabloid stories it used to provide. The expensively assembled trio have frequently been blamed by the Spanish media for Real's unconvincing attacking displays this season, however, with the team relying on other parts of the team, not least defender Sergio Ramos, for goals.
He had been expected to miss the remainder of the regular season when he sprained his right elbow on March 15. "One thing we were doing with Brook (Lopez) in the post, he would dribble and we would double and rotate", said Wade, who scored 14 points with seven rebounds but had five turnovers in 25 minutes.
Mesut Ozil opened the scoring at the Emirates Stadium, before Walcott and substitute Olivier Giroud wrapped up the comfortable victory for Arsene Wenger's men. With Cresswell doubtful, Arthur Masuaku is set to play at left back. Ozil has only played sparingly since Arsenal's 5-1 loss at Bayern Munich in the Champions League because of illness and injury, and had looked far from his best in Arsenal's previous two games.
It's easy to play for him. Kyrgios lost a quarter-final to the big-serving Querrey five weeks ago in Acapulco , Mexico and the Americans obviously believe his game style could disrupt the Australian No.1. He embraced his captain and his team upon victory, later talking about the relief in an expansive press conference that would have pleased even his harshest critic.
The NHL-leading Washington Capitals face the Toronto Maple Leafs and the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins have home-ice advantage against the rival Columbus Blue Jackets on the Metropolitan Division side. Gardiner was manning those duties alongside Zaitsev for the final month of the regular season, replacing Rielly. It's one of the few times in the 26-year-old's career that he's been tasked with handling top lines and he describes Zaitsev's "elite" defensive ability ...
The average of a triple-double for the season was locked. He will be the second player in history to average a triple-double in a season, after Robertson. Oklahoma City finished the quarter on a 15-9 run, but the Nuggets held a 53-52 lead at the half. Still trailing by 14 (99-85) with 5:56 left in the game, OKC began to chip away at the deficit.
I still challenge the umpire and still say what I think. Steve Johnson, left, and Jack Sock of the USA react during the doubles match against Australia's Sam Groth and John Peers at the Davis Cup World Group Quarterfinal in Brisbane, Australia, Saturday, April 8, 2017.
I've managed over 1,000 games and we are not used to this, it's a big worry. When asked about the unrest with the fans he responded, after grimacing at the mere mention: "You can understand that our fans are very unhappy. Gold has also rubbished claims that the players have stopped performing their manager, insisting that Wenger is the man to steady the ship. With seven points up to Manchester City in fourth place, Arsenal are in serious risk of finishing out of the Top 4 for the first ...
But Koehler said investigators were still evaluating the credibility of the note. The police are treating it as a case of terrorism. UEFA said "security procedures will be enhanced accordingly wherever needed". Borussia Dortmund president Reinhard Rauball said he was confident that the team would rise to the occasion for Wednesday's match despite the experience.
But President Trump in an interview with the New York Times on Wednesday said he thinks Rice committed a crime. John Culhane, a professor at Widener University Delaware Law School, said he thought Rice could have a credible libel lawsuit against Trump.
That and the Cavs had been mired in a slump entering the game, having gone 7-10 for the month of March. The Sixers arrived in Cleveland the same day the Cavaliers would lose their third straight game and fifth out of their last seven. "We're family", he said . For stretches, even LeBron pushed himself to the unfathomable limits of his endurance, an aging prizefighter looking to slice enough points off his younger opponent, while George tried to buzz James's tower with his athleticism and ...
Coutinho equalised with 20 minutes remaining when he shot through a crowded penalty area, and three minutes later, Firmino's superb lob put Liverpool ahead. I felt he was lucky that not more happened but we are close enough to the end of the season that it will be pretty much impossible to play again this season.
It is understood the chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq was keen for both to retire after the West Indies tour, allowing them a proper farewell and a chance for Younis to get to 10,000. "It will be tough to replace players like Younis and Misbah, so Pakistan will have to work hard in Tests without them". The batsman was named one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year along side Misbah earlier this week, after bagging a double-century during Pakistan 2-2 drawn test series in England ...
Kroos, who represented Bayern from 2007-2014, asserted that the two-legged home quarter-final tie against the reigning German champions will be like a final. ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI has been ruled out of Bayern's Champions League clash with Real Madrid . "I haven't talked with the [Madrid] players", Ancelotti added.
With Mane out injured, Firmino is expected to be shifted onto to the right while Coutinho is likely to start on the left and Origi will nearly certainly get the nod upfront. "It wasn't a great football game for both sides", Klopp continued . "Today you could feel it immediately in the dressing room", he said . "Of course we have to prove it next week and the next week - that's how it is".
Ruled out for the regular season, it seemed at that point that the team wouldn't qualify for the NBA Playoffs. "Is it deflating? No, because we're still in it man, All we gotta do is win, and we're right there". "We'll see how it goes tomorrow". It's no secret that rebounding has been an issue for them all season (41.9 per game, 27 in the league) and if they aren't able to limit Chicago on the glass, they could find themselves in trouble.
The only other mystery for the Maple Leafs is the status of their starting goaltender Frederik Andersen , who left the game Saturday early in the second period after being knocked to the ice by Tom Sestito. Toronto's resurgence started the same way as Washington's more than a decade ago. Anders Lee scored two of the four goals for NY while Nick Leddy assisted on both of his goals.
Kohli, who was sidelined for at least the first week of IPL due to a shoulder injury, is all set to return to the field when RCB host the Rohit Sharma-led side at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in the day game of Friday's double header. "But it is frustrating that you can't play because of injury on just one part of your body", he added. Anushka Sharma met the injured Virat Kohli and the two are known have spent some quality time together.
If Jordan Spieth appears older than his 23 years, it is not simply a reflection of his receding hairline. It was an emotional win for Garcia , coming on what would have been the 60th birthday of former Spanish legendary golfer - and two-time Masters champion - Seve Ballesteros.
Providing both sides win their two league games before then, victory for Spurs would extend their gap to 17 points with only five games left to play for Arsenal . His probable desire to leave Arsenal is not just because he wants a pay rise but Sanchez may not win any trophy if Wenger continues to man the managerial helms of the club.
Dortmund defender Marc Bartra was taken to hospital and underwent surgery on a broken wrist following the explosion. Dortmund police said that "three explosive charges had detonated" at Hoechsten outside the city at about 19:00 local time.
Perez then dropped a ideal bunt up the first base line, and the Rangers could only watch, hoping it would go foul. The Rangers led 5-0 through six innings. They overcame another 5-run deficit to defeat the Texas Rangers 6-5 in 10 innings. He originally injured the calf March 27 and has yet to make his 2017 debut.
In the days after the Khan Sheikhoun attack, Turkey provided the Syrian Civil Defense search and rescue outfit with 50 protective kits for responding to chemical attacks, and trained them in their use, Anadolu said. "He is poisoning the innocent people of Syria with weapons that were banned 100 years ago". "It is clear to all of us that the reign of the Assad family is coming to an end", he said.
Asked whether the last time the two teams met - a fixture that ended with a 4-0 win for Los Blancos - would play on the mind of his team-mates, Robben continued to be optimistic. "Not for 90 minutes like they did under Guardiola, they will step back a bit, but here at home they are going to pressure us a lot and have a lot of possession, of course".
After averaging 21:18 in his first 11 National Hockey League seasons, Ovechkin played 18:22 and ramped that up over the course of the year. Toronto staggered in the final week with three losses in four games ... Meanwhile, the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins (+350) open the postseason with a tough matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets (+500).
Fans of Dortmund are seen prior to the DFB Cup final match between Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern Muenchen at Olympic Stadium on May 12, 2012 in Berlin, Germany. The match has been rescheduled for Wednesday, with a 17:45 BST kick-off. European soccer's governing body, UEFA, said there had been no specific intelligence regarding any threat to any of Wednesday's Champions League fixtures, which also include a match in Spain between Atletico Madrid and England's Leicester City .
While he's not my favorite QB prospect, Trubisky would be a nice fit with Hue Jackson, and I think he makes a lot of sense for what the Browns would like to do in their scheme. The implication is that the Browns may be gun-shy about the possibility of passing on another potential franchise quarterback. In what is referred to as the "silly season" in the National Football League, teams are also prone to floating smokescreens to drive up the value of draft picks.
At nine shots back, Day would have to equal the greatest final-round comeback in Masters history - achieved by Jack Burke in 1956 - if he was to win a maiden Masters title. Although it certainly was not the fastest two-ball ever, and with Day often criticised for his slow play, with the duo taking three hours and 50 minutes and slightly longer than the last occasion Day recalled he was first out on his lonesome in a tournament.
Put simply, the Chicago Bulls haven't lived up to expectation this season, but the team owns the 7 seed in the East with just a handful of days left on the National Basketball Association calendar. The Nets, meanwhile, had won six of their last 10 games heading into their early evening game. Chicago is in a dogfight for a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.
Carlo Ancelotti's squad disposed of Arsenal by a 10-2 aggregate and seem to have another domestic title sewed up with six wins in their last seven Bundesliga matches . "I consider Bale to be close to being on top form". Both are expected to miss around a month of football action. Come Wednesday, the former colleagues will face off in the first of two contests to determine which will guide his team to Europe's final four.
That much seemed evident after their exciting 4-3 win over the Cubs. The twins even convinced their sister, Cathy Ferguson, a White Sox fan, to wear a Cubs shirt for their night game against the St. "No contemporary starter digs that idea". Then Adrian Gonzalez smacked a single up the middle of the diamond and I was dropped back into the gloom and doom that resided in so many Cubs fans.
Posey will be re-evaluated before a game against Arizona, but San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said the catcher is "doing good" following the scary moment. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the fourth, Matt Moore tapped a dribbler that was fielded by Walker. "He's doing good. He's doing fine ", manager Bruce Bochy said.
Perhaps what is more intriguing is that Gil reports " Neymar was isolated this time from the rest of players, very affected by his expulsion, in a painful return journey". Currently, Barcelona are three points off league leaders Real Madrid , who have a game in hand. That means he will not play in " El Clasico " against Real Madrid , which takes place on April 23.
I still have a good feel for everything. Making his first big league appearance in three years, the 26-year-old right-hander started strongly and was given a lead when Curtis Granderson singled in a run in the first against Wei-Yin Chen. A two-run homer from Nick Franklin tied the game at 4 but the Cubs plated a pair in the fifth against Jhan Marinez (0-2) to go back in front. "I don't worry about it because I know I'm smart enough to work around that and the velocity's still good enough ...
The 2017 season continues this weekend with the Bahrain Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton has described his clash with Sebastian Vettel for the F1 2017 Drivers' Championship as the "ultimate fight" he has faced in Formula 1. " Ferrari are at their best in years, maybe in a decade". "On a track and in conditions which were very different from those we had in Melbourne, we proved that we have a strong auto", Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene said.
It was worth the wait. Rose, meanwhile, had to settle for a par on No. 13, missing a 6-footer for birdie . Ballesteros, who died in 2011 at age 54 of brain cancer, and Jose Maria Olazabal each won the Masters champion green jacket twice and were the event's only Spanish champions until Garcia's breakthrough.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen produced a magnificent, typically daring drive to work his way from the back of the grid at the start to finish third ahead of Daniel Ricciardo in a gripping battle. Vettel agrees with Hamilton that the silver and red cars are closely matched. Raikkonen's podium hopes in China were not helped by Ferrari's decision to leave him out longer than was ideal before his second stop, which left him behind the Red Bulls in the final stint.
The Dortmund police added there is no indication the people in the stadium were in danger. Bartra was the only Dortmund player to need hospital-care after the attack, as he suffered a broken radius in his right wrist. We did not know if had already ended. His arm was reportedly slightly injured by the broken glass. Club president Reinhard Rauball said: "Of course this is an extremely hard situation for the players".
We have to improve, learn from these mistakes, analyse the game carefully and realise where we went wrong. We know that we need a positive result in the second leg and need to keep a clean sheet, because it's tough out there, tough - we all saw it [against PSG].
This season has been one problem after another for Noah. The shoulder injury is the latest health setback for Noah this season, his first with the Knicks. He was set to serve the suspension for the final eight games of this season and then the first 12 next season. He appeared in 46 this season for the Knicks, and averaged 5.0 points and 8.7 rebounds, and hasn't played since February 4.
Former Sunderland winger Kieran Richardson has joined Granada on trial , on Tony Adams' first full day as the club's head coach. Arsenal legend Tony Adams is enthusiastic about shaking things up at his new club Granada, as he aims to keep them in La Liga.
The Greek Freak was all over this one, notching his third triple-double of the season with 10 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. ABOUT THE BULLS (40-41): Consistency is something Chicago has lacked all season, and All-Star swingman Jimmy Butler is hoping the whole team realizes the magnitude of Wednesday's contest.
I thought we could have played much better than we did but it was clear bringing them on for half-an-hour made sense and they could decide the game. The manager decided because I was not 100% but I wanted to play. Firmino could be forgiven for tearing his shirt off in celebration, given the manner of the strike and its importance to Liverpool's season. However, boss Mark Hughes insists they can not afford to think they are safe after taking nine points from the last 11 matches.

text: PARK RIDGE — Reagan is getting $2 million for speaking engagements in Japan. Surprise! Is there a correlation between this fee and the very little done to halt the unequal trade practices between America and Japan during the Reagan years? Is there a correlation between this fee and the U.S. Navy protecting oil supply lines in the Persian Gulf, oil on which Japan is far more dependent than America? Japan paid nothing to protect its own oil interests but received free protection from Reagan.

I thought I wouldn't have to start this argument for another 20 years, but Bernie passed on this weekend. I say he goes down as the best Chicago comedian of all time. For those that know me well, you know how much I thought of Bernie Mac. There was something about his style and his presence that was electric. The guy knew how to tell jokes. And he did it his way. Now I'm not talking about the Mr. 3000s and the Ashton Kutcher Bernie, I'm talking about the Def Jam and Kings of Comedy Bernie Mac. The pre-Hollywood Bernie. Go Netflix Spike Lee's "Kings of Comedy". Watch how Bernie Mac stands up to the other comics and just destroys the stage. It's a comedy tutorial. His energy, his delivery and his material is ahead of it's time. Sure he has the prerequisite black/white jokes, but don't we all? Schad loved the Macman. We loved him so much that we wrote a part specifically for Bernie Mac in our last screenplay. We were gearing up to send it to his people for him to say no. Now, I guess we'll rewrite the part for some LA douchebag. For shame. In the immortal words of Bernie Mac "I'll kick a kid's ass".
Now, is Bernie Mac one of Chicago's best comics? I will go as far as to say that Bernie Mac was Chicago's best comic ever.

CDC Issues Updated Immunization Schedule
CDC Issues Updated Immunization Schedule
TUESDAY, Feb. 7, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- A new adult vaccine schedule from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has been published online Feb. 7 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
One of the major changes is that the nasal influenza vaccine is no longer recommended, as studies have found it largely ineffective. Another update addresses the safety of influenza vaccination in patients with egg allergy. The new guidance states that even patients who develop symptoms like swelling, lightheadedness, or breathing difficulties may get either the inactivated influenza vaccine or recombinant influenza vaccine. But they should receive the injection under supervision of a health care provider who is able to recognize and manage severe allergic conditions.
Regarding the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine for adolescents, the committee notes that young people who receive their first dose of the HPV vaccine before age 15 and the second dose at least five months later may be vaccinated in just two doses, instead of the three as was previously recommended. Both the American Cancer Society and the CDC advisory committee still recommend three doses of the HPV vaccine for young adults who were not immunized as adolescents. The vaccine may be given to women through age 26 and men through age 21.
The new immunization schedule recommends that adults with HIV should receive a two-dose series of serogroups A, C, W, and Y meningococcal conjugate vaccine. The schedule also adds patients infected with the hepatitis C virus to the list of those with chronic liver disease who could benefit from a hepatitis B vaccine series. Others who should receive these injections are people with cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, and elevated levels of alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase.

STOCKPORT'S players can ease the mounting pressure on manager Carlton Palmer by beating struggling Port Vale.
Criticism of Palmer's regime has been growing from the terraces in recent weeks and reached a new level after Saturday's 4-1 defeat by Bristol City.
Palmer is expected to return to the defence tomorrow (Wednesday) after County conceded four goals for a second game running.
And Aaron Lescott should also come back into the reckoning after missing the previous match due to suspension.
Despite a hesitant debut, keeper Brad Jones will probably deputise again for transfer-listed Lee Jones while it will be surprising if Palmer picks Keith Briggs, who is surplus to requirements.
Stockport have already beaten the Valiants this season thanks to a Luke Beckett goal.
LAST SEASON: Teams in different divisions.
KEY OPPONENT: Marc Bridge-Wilkinson - Vale's greatest goal threat.
PREDICTION: County 2 Port Vale 1.
Is time up for Carlton? Join the debate here.

This driving lesson was a little interesting in that I was driving a new car. By new car I mean brand new. I was one of the first people to drive it and it only had a few hundred miles on the odometer. Actually by the end of the lesson Martin said I had driven it more than he had. It was a Mini, which is apparently one of the best cars to learn to drive in.
|It looked like this but with more branding
Perhaps the biggest mistake I made was when I almost hit a van. At least I didn't almost die this time. It was another case of misjudging distance when there was traffic edging into my lane to get past a parked car. I pulled over a little too much to the left. Martin noticed and hit the brakes for me. That was good because I didn't want to damage a brand new car.
Other than that it was a pretty smooth drive. The lesson was a "back to basics" kind of thing to get me used to the new car. I expect I'll do more in my lesson tomorrow.

From Mashable: YouTube education sensation the Khan Academy debuted a series of tutorials on astronomy and space exploration made in collaboration with NASA Thursday.
The announcement at the fourth annual White House Science Fair made it clear that the new tutorials are meant to generate more interest in science, technology, engineering and math (also known as STEM) education.
The tutorials on Khan Academy, a non-profit, educational website, are divided into three different sections. Each section is intended to acquaint the user with different aspects of space, and NASA's understanding and exploration of it — from teaching users about the different protocols NASA uses to explaining the challenges of Mars exploration.

Chestnut Knoll Personal Care and Memory Care of Boyertown would like to recognize its night shift supervisor, Carol Keesey.
Keesey has a knack for saving lives. And, thanks to her dedication and training she's learned throughout her 11 years as night shift supervisor, she has the skills to go above and beyond the call of duty.
Most recently, Keesey used her CPR training while working her second job at the Brookside Family Restaurant. A gentleman was found unresponsive in the bathroom and a co-worker called for her help. She was quick to offer assistance and performed chest compressions while waiting for paramedics to arrive.
"It was really scary, I know that. I was very shaken up, but I'm glad everything turned out OK and the gentleman survived," said Keesey.
Although a first for CPR, this isn't the only time her lifesaving skills were put to use. She has used the Heimlich maneuver to save three other restaurant patrons. In addition to CPR and the Heimlich, she is trained in first-aid through her employment at Chestnut Knoll.
"Chestnut Knoll has prepared me for a lot of emergency situations, as well as providing dementia and other health care related training," said Keesey. It's a great place to work. It's very rewarding and I love helping people."
Her continuous training has allowed her to handle extraordinary situations outside of her health care profession. "The Chestnut Knoll Team is extremely proud of Carol and her quick thinking, professional reaction and response," said Shawn Barndt, executive director at Chestnut Knoll. "We are lucky to have her as a supervisor of our caregiving team!"

The United Nations News Center announced Tuesday that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has made his appointments to the three-member panel that will oversee the Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM) on the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
Leading the panel will be Virginia Gamba of Argentina; she will be serving alongside Eberhard Schanze of Germany and Adrian Neritani of Albania.
Gamba is deputy to the UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs and has approximately 30 year's worth of experience in the area of disarmament affairs and related activity. She played a key role in earlier missions relating to Syrian chemical weapons.
Schanze will focus on the investigative components of the JIM and within the panel. Neritani will focus on the political aspects of the panel's work.
The JIM is tasked with the identification of parties, individuals or other groups to be held responsible for the use of chemical weapons and toxic industrial chemicals on Syrian citizens. The JIM's formation was mandated in UN Security Council Resolution 2235. The panel is a joint venture between the UN and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
All appointments were made in coordination with OPCW Director-General Ahmet Uzumcu.

Daniel Godfrey Makala from Tanzania message
Dear Sir/Madam,
In 2012 the statistics showed that Toyota Japan was the leading Car Manufacturing Company in production by 13.45 percent. This makes it one among other countries which form the top ten Car manufacturing Companies in the World. In the year 2012 Japanese Toyota had a total of 8,381,968 cars being rolled out of the production line(According to the International Organization of Motor Vihecle Manufactures). Being born and raised in the family that owns more than five Japanese cars of different models such as Spacio, Wish, Recreational Active Four Wheel Drive Vihecle(RAV4) and Suzuki Grande Vitara made me fall in love with Japanese Cars. I remember about 25 years ago my father bought a Toyota hilux 2.8 double cabin pick up which was very helpful to our family since, it could accomodate the whole family of two parents and three kids including me plus a couple of luggages at the rear part. Apart from that Japanese Cars have proved themselves to suit or cope with African environment especially Tanzania which is characterized by low level of infrustructure compared to the first World countries. Having the problem of poor infrusture specifically poor roads gives me no option than having Japanese type of car as they are durable and reasonable in price. Another thing is Japanese products have acquired a very good reputation in Tanzania and Africa in general. On the other hand most people like Japanese cars due to the fact that there is alot of spares, this situation has given no one option than loving Japanese type of cars. As a Tanzanian man, a lawyer by proffession would like to own one of the Japanese Car which will help me move easily from one point to another in my daily activities and also enjoy with my family. Being a real fan of Japanese Cars I would be pleased if you will pick me as the winner of the Car Giveaway year twenty fifteen. Winning a car from Japan will be my dream come true as i have been following you guys and I have humbly dedicated my time and resources as it takes internet connection to share and invite different people including family and friends. On the other hand by participating in Car Giveaway twenty fifteen makes me feel directly connected to it So being a part of Car Giveaway, it makes me think that I deserve the very best just like Cars from Japan which have proved to be the best and leading cars in the whole World. Conclusively, I would like to thank you in advance for picking me as the winner of the Car Giveaway twenty fifteen!

Advertising New Software Lets Marketers Target Their Ads on Internet
Coming soon to the Internet: advertisements that are as personal -- and as targeted -- as some junk mail.
Web marketers are gearing up to exploit the same vast storehouses of consumer data that are used to dump direct-mail offers in the right mailboxes. The approach promises to solve one of Internet advertising's biggest drawbacks: Though Web sites may know everything you do on-line, they still don't know who you are.

Our Mission
At Coupar Communications, we believe that no two clients are the same. We create thoughtful, individualized solutions to secure marketing and PR goals. Our clients are part of an elite community of designers, photographers, architects, art curators, and industry tastemakers. As the most published interior design PR firm in San Francisco, Coupar Communications is an exceptional resource for clients looking to expand their professional network, increase brand recognition, and position themselves as industry authorities.
Krista Coupar Piagentini - Founder & CEO
Krista Coupar Piagentini, founder and CEO of San Francisco's COUPAR juxtaposes a passion for interior design with business prowess. The Las Vegas native is a design industry veteran of nearly two decades. Krista and her team coach, counsel, and empower elite designers, architects, and builders. Located in the San Francisco Design Center, COUPAR offers the design community business operations, project management, and marketing communications solutions. By providing creatives with strategic planning, they are freed up to do what they love most: create.
Krista's affinity for the design world started when she first worked for Silk Trading Company and later imported high-end textiles. After working for prominent Bay Area interior designers, she understood the industry's nuanced ecosystem. As general manager for Kendall Wilkinson Design, she encountered a network of esteemed architects, builders, subcontractors, artisans, vendors, and shippers. Krista saw the design cycle from the initial client meeting, through to installation.
Knowing what designers needed, she opened COUPAR in 2007. One of Krista's first accomplishments was systemizing the industry to make the design process more profitable.
While a creative holds the vision of their company, they may not have access to the resources that will help their business grow. Krista also pioneered the concept of à la carte services for designers, forming a Studio team to provide technical support as needed, making firms' design teams more scalable while allowing for stability and strength through growth periods. Concentrating on behind-the-scenes project management, AutoCAD drafting, and sourcing enables the designer to direct the creative process and client experience.
Krista realized that a designer's work and their messaging go hand-in-hand and felt the industry lacked this synergistic relationship. COUPAR'S marketing staff tells the designer's story and what makes them unique. After defining the design principal's brand and the strategy for how to elevate their story, the team threads it through all communications: website development, social media, content marketing, newsletters, media buys, partnerships, and PR initiatives.
The success of Krista's business models has allowed her to expand from a firm of four into a company of more than 20. She sites journalist Gloria Steinem, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and her grandmother, as women she admires. As an employer, she emulates their innovation and tenacity while encouraging and mentoring her staff. Giving back to the design community, Krista serves on The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art's Northern California board and the Host Committee for Enterprise for Youth's Private Collections.
We are currently hiring for the following positions: Operations Assistant and Design Assistant
Coupar Communications is always on the lookout for talented individuals to become a member of our team. Please send resumes to firstname.lastname@example.com

While reading a magazine a few weeks ago, I came across a Tim McGraw biography that talked about his drinking. I've listened to Tim McGraw for years and have always really enjoyed his music, but this was the first time I had read or heard anything about his decision to stop drinking. Apparently, he has been sober since 2008, a decision Tim made in large part because he wanted to be healthy and be around for his kids and his wife.
While there was never a whole lot of Tim McGraw news surrounding his drinking, everyone's breaking point is different. Some people might quit drinking because of a DUI or an arrest. Others might quit drinking because they are just sick of the way it makes them feel and they, like Tim, want to be healthy and make sure they can be as healthy and as present as possible for the important people in their lives.
Tim McGraw credits his wife, Faith Hill, almost entirely for the fact that he is alive, sober, and happy. He didn't quit drinking until more than a decade after he met her, but without her, he believes he would have continued to drink and ultimately would have drank himself to death. Tim McGraw didn't go to any sort of alcohol rehab in order to quit drinking. Instead, he tried to replace drinking with a better habit: working out. For him, implementing something healthier and more productive into his life has worked. Some people find that they need to do more than replace their drinking with something else, but at the very least, it's definitely a good place to start.
I know how hard it was to quit drinking - I can't even imagine doing it while being so publicly scrutinized and while working in the music industry. It's hard enough to stay sober without dealing with all of this added pressure. Celebrities are definitely criticized more than anyone else, even in regards to their drinking, but at the same time it seems that it's totally acceptable, and expected, for celebrities to drink too much. It's nice to hear a story about a celebrity who quits drinking before getting arrested, getting a DUI, or being forced into rehab. I was really happy to read the Tim McGraw biography and see how open and honest he was about his drinking and his journey into sobriety. The more people who are willing to talk about their struggles with alcohol and recovery, the easier it is for other people struggling to come forward and ask for the help they need.

Don't spend hundreds of dollars on a portable A/C for your home, just build one for $8 dollars and 10 minutes of your time! You can pick up a Styrofoam cooler for about $4 at most stores.
Dryers vents cost about $2 dollars a pop.
All you need after that is an old fan and some frozen bottles of water!
Once your box is completed following the instructions in the video, simply add the frozen bottles of water and go to town.
My home was 78 degrees and after running the box in the living room for a couple hours it dropped into the 60's which is fantastic on a hot day!
If you load the cooler with frozen bottles, the cooler will last anywhere from 3-6 hours which gives you enough time to have another set of bottles freezing in the interim.
This is great for single rooms on a hot day and will drop the overall temperature quite a bit.

There is no charge to be listed so feel free to Get in Touch and notify us of new links or corrections. If you want your gallery or a particular show to be featured you can rent one of our banner spaces – ask about advertising.
This site intends to make it easier to get basic information on London galleries and museums and provide links to their websites.
Sometime in 2003 I started collecting London gallery links because I often had trouble finding the websites for galleries that I wanted to visit. Things have improved since then but I still find some galleries can be hard to pick out in google results and too many sites still make basic visitor information hard to get at (some even show themselves in the wrong place on their own map!). After a couple of years, that first page of links on my own site became so popular that I decided move it to its own domain in 2008.
In 2011, I updated the site to give each gallery its own page. The aim is to keep the site simple, useful and specific to London galleries so I've retained the original list format meaning you can still jump directly to the site you want. Please let us know if you have any suggestions for improving any aspect.
2016: a new version of the website. The app should be vastly improved later this year too.

Histories of the Artist
18 January - 15 February 2017
Histories of the artist is Course Module II of HWP 2016-17: Head Above Water.
Images from left to right: Youssef Howayek's Martyrs' Monument in Beirut (c. 1930's)Mustafa Farroukh in the courtyard of the Alhambra palace in Granada. (c. 1930's)
Public Talk | The Artist as Quarry, Creep, or Best Case Scenariowith Tirdad ZolghadrMonday, January 16 | 8PM
A brief and selective genealogy, beginning with the Louvre.
Artists are forever falling prey to censorship, institutions, bad lighting, jet lag, curators, Americans, and The Market. Never are they complicit when it comes to any of these many travails. Using a small number of case studies, ranging from the docufictional maverick to the artist-as-curator, this lecture will discuss subtle narratives that allow the artist to disidentify with power. Narratives of the kind do serve some artists well individually, even if they serve to marginalize the profession-at-large in the longer term. Ultimately, the lecture aims for possibilities of a more meaningful professional identity, one which offers a more tangible and sustainable sense of political traction.

Closed Seminar | The Artist as Quarry, Creep, or Best Case Scenario with Tirdad Zolghadr
In Zolghadr's seminar, the issue of self-marginalization among artists – as proposed during the lecture "The Artist as Quarry, Creep, or Best Case Scenario" – will be discussed with regards to educational settings. How are specific professional identities fostered, often unwittingly, in latter-day art-pedagogy of both the formal and informal variety. Required reading will be Suhail Malik's "Vindicating Didacticism", a lecture held at Ashkal Alwan, as part of the 5th Riwaq Biennale's contribution to the Home Works School program, November 2014.
Closed Seminar | The Artist as Material History with Walid Sadek
Difficult to ascertain if the past rarely erupts in the perceived present of a linear history or if does so frequently. Perhaps it is moot question for when attentive to at least one of its eruption, it is enough to disrupt the linear organization of time, dislodge the present as the front seat of a convenient coming future and instead weighs the present with a consciousness for all of what remains interminable in the past. In these two seminar sessions, we will look at the impact of two disruptive, possibly eruptive, events on the lives and works of painter Mustafa Farroukh and sculptor Youssef Howayek: Events that denuded them, albeit in dissimilar ways, of their artist-mantel and forcibly fed them into the pugmill of material history. Threatened with the dismemberment of their art by history, these two artists toiled to maintain themselves and their works afoot on the path of an authorial trajectory but eventually came to recognize that they had become posthumous long before their physical death. But in falling into the material of history, even if at an exorbitant personal cost, their works gained an ambulant waywardness, in itself a potential for erupting within the times of history but outside the various categories of culture.
Closed Seminar | Collectivity in Practice with Kristine Khouri
In the recent past, artists in the Arab world have organized together around different concerns including artists' rights, an "Arab" identity, and shared political and ideological concerns. The first seminar will focus on case studies of some of these practices prevalent in 1970s by looking at the establishment of artist unions (i.e. Union of Arab Artists), artist associations, and other manifestations of artist-run and led initiatives. The seminar seeks to not only look at the past but to imagine about what structures can be recuperated and/or reclaimed in within today's contemporary art and political infrastructures.
Closed Seminar | The Artist as Archive with Kristine Khouri
Beginning with the case study of the research project on the International Art Exhibition for Palestine (in collaboration with Rasha Salti), the seminar will focus on methodological questions as well as how oral histories and archival research are interrogated and activated. What are the challenges and possibilities in preserving artists' practices and memories? Looking at the processes of transformation of research and documentation into exhibition and other formats, the seminar will attempt to interrogate the different ways in which knowledge is produced when artists are actors and/or subjects of historical research.
She co-founded, with Rasha Salti, the History of Arab Modernities in the Visual Arts Study Group, a research platform focused around the social history of art in the Arab world. Their current project is focused on the history of the International Art Exhibition in Solidarity with Palestine. This research was transformed into an exhibition, Past Disquiet: Narratives and Ghosts from the International Art Exhibition for Palestine, 1978, which first was exhibited at the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) (2015), Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), Berlin, in spring 2015, and will continue to tour in 2017.

The latest set of guidelines expected to be issued by the end of this year by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision will lead to "massive system upgrades" by global banking institutions, according to David Kelly, director of credit products for Quantifi, a financial software company that provides numerical models, pricing and risk analysis tools.
The spending will be "across the board" on hardware, software and integration, he said. But the "biggest challenge is data,'' he said in midtown Manhattan Wednesday.
Data will be the biggest challenge as the banks collect information on all the different types of transactions they engage in in stocks, bonds, derivatives and other assets and then run them through scenarios that allow them to better calculate the risks they face, the values of their assets and the reserves they must keep on hand, he said.
Firms will have to maintain detailed information on "all these positions in from all the desks before they can calculate their positions" under current or projected economic and market conditions, he said.
For a bank the size of Citigroup, there can be a million positions to be calculated and 10,000 or 50,000 different "paths" to run the numbers on, he said.
This effort will cost about $100 million per bank, although that expense could be spread over as many as 10 years, depending on how fast the bank moves to meet the guidelines of this third Basel accord -- which has not yet been finalized.
A comment period on the "Strengthening the Resilience of the Banking Sector" documents, often referred to as 'Basel III,' ended April 16. The Basel committee hopes to release final documents by the end of this year and see adoption and implementation of the guidelines in major countries by the end of 2012.
"Banks want to optimize their capital more. They kind of have to," Kelly said.
The United States, he noted, still has not adopted the guidelines of the second Basel Accord, initially published in 2004. And has not set a timeline for adoption of the third set of guidelines.
The new guidelines, in general, ask banks to set aside a variety of charges for greater risks that the capital they own face, including volatile economic conditions, the disappearance of counterparties, securitization riks and the transfer of credit risk.
The new Basel guidelines, he said, are widely seen as more conservative and more stringent than the financial regulatory reform now being reconciled in the U.S. House and Senate.
A reconciliation that likely will take place by the July 4 holiday, he noted.
Months before the Basel III guidelines are finalized.

Hello Doru, we have just turned into the New Year and the tons of snow we had...
Dear John, hello again, how is winter in Portland? What is your favorite season?

Review by:
William Maya
on March 30, 2013 :
An interesting, very short account of an English soldier's experience in World War I. In his first charge across no man's land he is hit a couple of times and lies in a ditch among the dead and dying. It's written in a detached style so one doesn't get much of an emotional connection to the soldier's suffering.

There are few things that annoy me more than how blogs and Twitter light up after the release of a single political poll.
Pundits will make the huge inferences from statistically insignificant changes, or attribute meaning to an event that occurred after polling finished.
Today I'm proud to release something I've been working on for a while, a forecast model for the 2017 New Zealand General Election. It is a mathematical model for analysing polling and determining what Parliament would look like if an election were held today.
Check it out here or via the permalink at the menu on the top of this page.
It takes all available public polling, adjusts for historical data (for instance, known bias' that individual pollsters have), produces a weighted average based on recency and sample size.
It then produces an estimate of each party's seat count in the Parliament.
No doubt people will have a ton of questions, hopefully the following will answer them. If you have any further questions, or ideas or suggestions, please either leave them on here, or email me directly on firstname.lastname@example.com
Lastly, my thanks to the many people on both sides of the Tasman (you know who you are) who have helped me with the coding, maths, and design. Hopefully you'll find it useful!
- The two main factors for weighting polls are how recent the poll is, and sample size. I use an exponential decay function to weight for recency, which has been calibrated so that after about 90 days a poll is treated as worthless. This usually means there are around 4 or 5 polls included in the current forecast (hopefully this number will increase as more polling is released during the election year).
- I also adjust for sample size, but given the four main pollsters in New Zealand all use similar sizes (with the exception of Roy Morgan, which normally uses around 850 as opposed to 1,000), this weight has limited impact.
- From this forecast party vote result, I extrapolate the number of seats in the House of Representatives using the Sainte-Laguë formula with an assumption that all electorate seats are held. While it is highly likely that some electorate seats will change hands, there is insufficient electorate-level polling to predict this with any degree of accuracy. If you want to see the results with a different set of electorate results, the Electoral Commission's calculator is very good.
- I'll be updating the model after each poll is released, with a new blog post here to let you know how things have changed. Once it has been updated you'll be able to see the individual poll results used to make up the forecast.
- Any ideas for improvements, better data visualisation, or volunteers to help make that happen are always welcome!

Summarizes key messages heard in nine communities and 11 meetings across Colorado. The Colorado Trust supported former Governor Bill Ritter in his efforts to convene, inform and engage people across the state in a conversation about what they want from their health care system and values underlying that vision. The process was designed to complement the work of the Blue Ribbon Commission for Health Care Reform and provide further input to the Ritter administration in setting a course for change.
This look at the state's 55- to 65-year-old population provides insights into how senior-serving organizations and agencies can better plan, prepare and address the needs of the growing number of Coloradans approaching retirement. This sizeable group—nearly half a million strong—offers unique opportunities to communities, employers and charities through their considerable knowledge, skills and enthusiasm. At the same time, there are significant challenges that require change and adaptation to provide aging boomers with adequate health care and coverage, employment, education and service opportunities.
An overview of the joint effort of the Caring for Colorado Foundation, The Colorado Trust, The Denver Foundation and The Colorado Health Foundation to support human services agencies, mental health care providers and others to improve the integration and coordination of mental health services in Colorado communities.
Developed by the Colorado Department of Education and The Colorado Trust, this guide identifies, explains and provides recommendations for promoting immigrant integration in schools. Intended primarily as a resource for district administrators, school administrators and teachers, the guide provides an overview of the critical areas that influence immigrant integration in schools, from school enrollment and classroom instruction to family and community outreach.
Highlights The Trust's Bullying Prevention and Colorado School Health Improvement efforts, and focuses on strengthening patient care and safety through the Colorado 5 Million Lives Campaign. Featured publications include: Solving Colorado's Health Professions Shortage – Initial Lessons Learned from the Health Professions Initiative Evaluation; Gatekeepers: Helping to Prevent Suicide in Colorado; The Importance of Culture in Evaluation: a Practical Guide for Evaluators; and Equality in Health: An Annotated Bibliography with Resources on Health Disparities and Cultural and Linguistic Competency.
This evaluation determined whether gatekeepers—community members trained in recognizing at-risk individuals of suicide and referring them to professional caregivers—use their understanding and skills to positively intervene and prevent suicide deaths. The findings show that most gatekeepers did help at-risk individuals, indicating that the strategy of gatekeeper training is a successful suicide prevention strategy.
A description of promising strategies to strengthen health professions training, including: creating awareness and readiness among students; supporting and expanding training opportunities; and promoting employer efforts and community partnerships to recruit and retain health professionals. Preliminary findings indicate that these three components together contribute toward a long-term solution to the shortage of health professionals.
Highlights include a grantee story, workplace wellness at the Food Bank for Larimer County, and recognition of Safe2Tell as The Trust's first leadership award recipient. Also included is a message from Irene M. Ibarra, President and CEO, stressing the importance of partnerships to address the problem of suicide in our state, and updates on The Trust's Equality in Health, Healthy Aging and Immigrant Integration efforts, and announcements of cardiovascular and stroke guidelines and a health care workforce website.
This report shows that participants in obesity prevention programs under this initiative made modest, but positive behavior changes and—most importantly—sustained them for a year following the end of the program. Conducted by the National Research Center, the four-and-a-half year longitudinal study measured behavior changes and examined what individual, community and programmatic characteristics contributed to sustainable behavior change.

What a stunning spacious property. The pictures don't do it justice. Plenty of amenities, comfortable rooms and great beer! Fantastic family holiday. Thank you Andy and James.
Old Brewery House is full of character, very spacious and well equipped. All the bedrooms are a good size with great views; the bathrooms were clean with powerful showers.
Andrew was very friendly and helpful and the beer was well received by our party.
We would definitely recommend the house for a holiday.
Great space, fully equipped and welcoming
This house couldn't have been more perfect for our family gathering. The rooms were all a great size, with plenty of space for everyone, including 4 young kids. (3yrs to 8 yrs). The property was quirky with lots of character and a gorgeous cozy log burner. The kitchen was really well stocked, with more pans, crockery and cutlery than you could possibly use. Everything in the house was well made and sturdy, perfect for the young children in our party. The lake, peacocks, black swans, ducks and views made it even more special and Stow was minutes away. Andrew, the property manager was very helpful with his local knowledge. Pubs and outings were all organised before we even arrived. Cake was also on the table for our arrival and was most welcome! (Thank you Andrew).
We booked the weekend here for my fathers 70th birthday. Every single one of us loved the place and would return again.
A rural hideaway yet close to some of the Cotswolds most delightful towns and attractions! The setting and architecture of Old Brewery House and the buildings that surround it are quintessentially Cotswolds and utterly idyllic. Its location is unique, being right in the heart of Donnington Brewery, whose buildings date back as far as the 12th Century. In 1827 it was bought by Thomas Arkell, whose descendant Richard Arkell started a Brewery here in 1865. It remains a working brewery today and although running full time, has very little impact on the house or its occupants. Donnington Brewery is not open to the public and access to the brewery buildings is understandably prohibited. Beer, however, is available, should you desire it and you'll find links to chocolate box pretty Cotswolds inns that are supplied by Donnington Brewery.
Less than 2 miles from Stow on the Wold and Moreton in Marsh and approximately 7 miles to Bourton on the Water. Chipping Norton, Chipping Campden and Broadway are all less than 20 minutes drive. Stratford on Avon, Cheltenham, Warwick and Tewkesbury are a little over half an hour away by car.
We can recommend including some great pubs, great local walks, local attractions the city of Oxford or Cheltenham are only half an hour away plus quintessential Cotswold towns like Burford and Moreton in Marsh are only a few miles away. Or we can help with beauty treatments and massage therapy at Daylesford (Organic Farm) or clay pigeon shooting locally or we can provide catering via an excellent local catering company that can come out and cook at the house.
Architecturally, Stow has many historic buildings around the market square, having risen to prosperity on the back of the wool trade in medieval times. The 15th century St Edwards parish church played a role in the civil war. The old town stocks still stand though not used much in recent years. These days, Stow has many boutique and antique shops to browse around and pubs and restaurants provide a large choice of places to eat.
Further afield villages built with the traditional honey coloured Cotswold limestone are within easy reach. Broadway Tower on the edge of the Cotswolds has views of 16 counties, so they say. Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, Stratford on Avon or Snowshill Manor are all less than 45 minutes.
For those interested in walking, there are numerous walks in and around Stow, varying from gentle strolls to extended walks. A map of local walks can be had from the information centre or local shops. Cycles may be hired in Bourton on the Water and are an ideal way to explore the quieter back country lanes and the smaller villages of the Cotswolds, but the hills can be steep!
Cheltenham Festival Week, home of the famous Gold Cup, happens every March. Stow is only 35 minutes from the races.
Location Information: Sitting elegantly in the middle of the world famous Cotswold's countryside, Stow-on-the-Wold is the quintessential English market town. Stow is a natural and historic meeting place, with a fine selection of 16th century Cotswold stone shops, luxury hotels, chic bistros, inns, elegant manor house hotels and cosy teashops. The combination of rural informality and fine food and drink makes this small market town the ideal destination for a holiday or weekend break. Along with Moreton-in-Marsh and Bourton-in-the-Water, Stow is one of the best known of the small Cotswold towns. It is the highest point in the Cotswolds, standing on top of an 800 feet hill, and is situated at the meeting place of seven roads, including the Roman Fosse Way, which runs from Exeter to Lincoln in an almost straight line.

I should have lots to say….and I do. I'm just a little boggled by all that's evolved in recent years, and I'm not sure of the right message. There has always been the issue of "he said, she said", but now a crime victim is called "the accuser". The job of law enforcement is to establish that a crime has occurred, thus establishing victim status, but that doesn't seem to make a difference when rape is the crime. There are judges who refuse to have the word rape used in the courtroom, despite the fact that an indictment has preceded the trial.
The September Cosmopolitan, has an article that coins the term "gray rape," but proceeds to describe instances where the victim clearly said no. In one instance, the woman described how she had invited a friend to be her "platonic date" to a sorority function. Following that, they made out, but she said sex was off limits. He proceeded to force sex, and she said no. However, she blamed herself for not saying no forcefully enough.
What we at MOCSA and everyone who deals with sexual assault knows, is that victims blame themselves. Even if a stranger jumps out of the bushes, a victim will question whether she should have been walking in that area, whether she should have fought harder, etc., etc. We don't need popular magazines coining phrases that discount victims or their experience.
Rape is not "gray". Rape has devastating and long-term effects. Lives are changed. Clinical depression, suicide ideation and attempts, and coping through alcohol and substance use are just a few of the effects. One study revealed that 60% of marriages or long-term relationships ended within a year of a rape.
I applaud the men who are associated with MOCSA and similar organizations for committing to address this issue. It is a difficult issue, and I know of some who questioned and felt badly about actions that they were involved with earlier in their lives.
What I think about for these men is how we help victims. It is important to move beyond denial, acknowledge and grieve the violation, and regain a healthy and empowered approach to living.
The men who volunteer for MOCSA's Man Up! committee have committed to reaching out to boys, young men and their peers to promote respect and positive communication. Typically, they are fathers of both boys and girls and recognize the importance of developing healthy relationships based on trust and mutual respect. This is clearly what our society needs.
-Palle M. Rilinger, Executive Director of MOCSA

Thanks Palle.
Too often we (males, that is) make comments that unintentionally create perceptions that women are somehow 'less' than men. Comments such as 'You throw like a girl.' or 'Hit the ball, Alice.' While these comments come from years of male social interaction, we really do need to think about the long-term affects these types of comments have on other men. Because while we use these comments seem innocuous in the presence of other men, we don't know how these innocent statement affect the perceptions these men have of women. Nor can we fathom how a woman 'hears' these comments. Do women hear these statements and come to believe they are somehow less than men? Does is cause them to be less competitive? To become suppliant? I hope not, but frankly, we just don't know. Therefore, it is our responsibility to do our best not to propogate these perceptions.
Thanks for you post.
